Worth the wait
Tottenham fans have had to wait four long months to see Antonio Conte take charge of his first North London Derby. Initially due to take on Arsenal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, January 16, the showdown was postponed following a request from the Gunners to the Premier League to call the game off due to their lack of numbers.
Claiming they had "many players currently unavailable across our squad as a result of Covid, injuries and players away with their countries at AFCON", Tottenham were left furious about the decision, with Conte making his feelings perfectly clear on it numerous times since then. Spurs even had a subtle dig at Arsenal in a video on social media ahead of kick-off with the message "we were ready in January" there for all to see.
